From a Old High German compound name, from the elements waltan(“rule, govern”) + māri(“famous, great”).[1] Merged with Scandinavian Valdemar, apparently from the semantically and formally similar Slavic name Vladimir, which is sometimes considered to also derive from the same pre-Old High German name *waldimӕ̄r-.[1]
